One Entertainment Business Publication Sues Another For Copyright Infringement For Having The Same Stories
from the idea-expression,-nikki dept
"PMC (the company that owns Deadline.com) is taking a stand against desperate and copycat news organizations and media outlets such as THR that constantly monitor PMC's websites for the sole purpose of copying and imitating PMC websites' news stories and original content within minutes after online publication. These copycat media outlets such as THR, rather than conducting their own independent reporting and investigation, developing their own sources and insiders, and generating their own leads and stories, simply steal PMC's content and pawn it off as their own. In truth, THR, faced with the harsh reality that it had become a second-rate entertainment industry news source unable to attract insiders' attention anymore."THR, for its part, claims the whole thing is ridiculous, and many of the stories mentioned were on both sites because Hollywood publicists sent the same info to both sites:
"An initial review of the complaint shows that it is replete with examples of stories that originated from widely-released press releases from publicists, or widespread confirmations from publicists to numerous outlets, including both The Hollywood Reporter and Deadline.com. It is not copyright infringement to report these stories, even if on occasion Deadline.com posts them first."While I don't always agree with THR's coverage, on this one, I'm on their side. Reporting on the same story -- even if you find out about it from the other site -- is not copyright infringement. It's often how news works. Someone should explain to Finke the idea/expression dichotomy in copyright law, as well as the important tidbit of information that you can't own facts, and others are free to write about the same facts.

There are a number of ways to apply wood veneer to a substrate. If you prefer a fast, convenient method that doesn't require a lot of special equipment, good results can be achieved with contact cement and a few hand tools. With a few tips, the process is actually very easy.
To get ready, you'll want to pick the section of the veneer that you want to include. In most cases, you'll want to cut your substrate to finished size before you begin. That way, you can simply trim the veneer when you're done, without having to worry about damaging the veneer by trimming the whole finished piece with a table saw. You'll want the most attractive area of the veneer pattern centered on the substrate, and with the contact cement method, you'll have just one chance to get it right. Here's an easy method for getting that perfect piece of maple burl or Macassar ebony veneer in just the right spot.
One way to make sure you get the section of the veneer you want on the finished piece is to is to make "window" out of a piece of cardboard that's exactly the same size as your substrate. Place the substrate panel on top of a piece of cardboard, mark off the outside edge of the substrate and cut out your "veneer selecting window." Position the cardboard window over the part of the veneer you want placed on the finished piece. Mark the section of veneer and trim it ½' oversized.
Now you're ready for the contact cement. Following the manufacturers instructions, apply contact cement to both the veneer and the substrate and allow the cement to set. One advantage to using contact cement is that once the pieces touch, they will not slip as they might with liquid glue. But that also means the pieces must be in the right positions before they are pressed together.
One way to make sure that the veneer ends up in the right place is to put a piece of waxed paper between the panel and the veneer. This allows you to position the veneer over the panel before pulling the waxed paper out slowly. To make centering the veneer easier, cut the waxed paper to the same size as you cut the veneer on three sides, and a little longer on the end you'll hold when you remove it.
When you have the veneer in position, carefully pull out the wax paper, making sure that the veneer stays in place during the process. Once the pieces have made contact, roll the veneer down with a veneer roller, starting at the center of the veneer and moving outwards to the edge of the substrate. After you roll down the veneer, it's best to go over the surface with a smoothing blade to insure that the veneer is thoroughly adhered to the substrate.
Now, run your hand over the surface of the veneer to make sure that it is flat and that there are no trapped air bubbles between the veneer and the substrate. Tap your finger on any suspect areas - a higher pitched sound indicates a bubble or an area where the veneer isn't adhered. Roll down any improperly adhered areas and go over them with a smoothing blade. For a really persistent bubble, you may have to make a small slice in the direction of the grain with a razor knife to let out the trapped air.
Finally, turn the workpiece upside down on a cutting surface and trim the veneer with a razor knife using the edges of the substrate as a guide. Remember to make a few scoring strokes to establish the cut before bearing down on the veneer. Following adhesive and finish manufacturers' instructions, allow ample curing time for the contact cement before finishing the piece.
Rockler Woodworking and Hardware offers everything you'll need for your veneering project. Rockler keeps a wide variety of veneers on hand, along with quality veneering supplies including adhesives, rollers, smoothing blades, veneer cutters, and scrapers.
Happy Woodworking!

Fight to Win Independent Standard Setting Board for Private Company Financial Reporting Will Continue
October 13, 2011
The Financial Accounting Foundation's failure to propose creation of an independent standard-setting board to modify GAAP for private company financial reporting "profoundly disappointed" the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, Barry Melancon, AICPA president and CEO, said in response to the Oct. 4 announcement.
Instead, FAF proposed a council whose decisions are subject to ratification by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. The FAF announcement was in response to the report of the Blue Ribbon Panel on Standard Setting for Private Companies, which supported the creation of an independent standard-setting board.
"Three thousand private company constituents and a majority of the state CPA societies, representing more than a quarter million CPAs, have spoken," Melancon said. "They want a separate independent standard setting board and they have sent letters to FAF asking for change."
AICPA Chair Paul Stahlin, vowed that the profession will keep fighting for an independent board. "We will continue to ask our members and others who support more relevant, more cost beneficial standards for private companies to make their voices heard load and clear that the best answer is an independent private company board," he said.
"Over the years, FASB's main focus has understandably been on the needs of constituents of publicly traded companies," Melancon said. "The pent up frustration we are witnessing by the private company constituency is a direct result of that public company focus and not seeing that differences can be and are appropriate for private companies and their financial statement users."
Information and resources to help you understand FAF's proposal and offer you the opportunity to easily and quickly send a comment letter to FAF using an online tool will be available soon on the private company financial reporting resource page on the AICPA website.
Read about the letters sent to FAF by the 33 state societies and members of the private company constituency.

If so, you might have some rather unpleasant memories of filling out endless forms and – if you had a question — trying to navigate through a voice recognition telephone system that didn't understand you. If you were able to actually reach a real person, that employee might have been more focused on the procedure than actually listening to you. What is the result of this automation of processes? Not surprisingly, it's disconnected and frustrated customers. Read More

The Buffalo is a muscle car which appears in different forms in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, as well as Grand Theft Auto IV and The Ballad of Gay Tony.
GTA San Andreas
The Buffalo in GTA San Andreas appears to based on the third-generation Chevrolet Camaro. Even though it is clearly based on a 1982-1992 Camaro, it has been changed quite a bit. The headlights are circular, coincidentally similar to a 1994-2001 Acura Integra; a C-pillar has been added, bearing somewhat of a resemblance to 1984–1993 Dodge Daytonas; and the shape taillights look closer to some third-generation Pontiac Firebird models. The Buffalo also has a ram air hood.the buffalo does handle well on dirt or sand.
GTA IV — The Ballad of Gay Tony
In GTA IV and its DLCs, the Bravado Buffalo is a four-door sports sedan based on the 2006—present Dodge Charger. When GTA IV was originally released, the game's rendition of the Buffalo had not been made available as a civilian model, despite numerous billboards advertising the car in Liberty City (most prominently at the end of the Dukes Boulevard Station line in Steinway, Dukes). Rather, the vehicle is initially depicted as a law enforcement vehicle for the Federal Investigation Bureau, dubbed the FIB Buffalo. The civilian Buffalo is featured as an added vehicle in The Ballad of Gay Tony, the second downloadable episode for GTA IV.
The law enforcement model is taken from the base model of the Police Package Charger as it is powered by a V6 engine, similar to the Police Patrol. Both variants have a stock body kit and plain black wheels with chrome centercaps. The FIB variant features 2 sets of emergency lights mounted on its grill and rear windshield whereas the LCPD variant has a front pushbar and V-lightbar on its roof, similar to its Declasse and Vapid counterparts.
In The Ballad of Gay Tony, the civilian model of the Buffalo is based on the SRT-8 version of the Charger, and features a performance body kit that includes larger exhaust ports, sport rims, bumpers, and side skirts, however the Buffalo lacks the rear spoiler and hood scoop found on the SRT-8 model.
GTA San Andreas
In GTA San Andreas, the car is front-engine, rear-drive, and sports a V8 engine that delivers great acceleration and speed, but comes at the cost of limited control at top speeds and unstable cornering. It is also a two-door vehicle, making it unsuitable for drive-bys as the player can only have one recruit to go along with him.
The Ballad of Gay Tony
The Buffalo's raw performance in TBOGT is considerably good for a four-door sedan, courtesy of its high displacement supercharged V8 engine, and may even be superior to its law enforcement variants. As expected, the car is capable of good acceleration and an excellent top speed, but is also lighter than the law enforcement Buffalo's, allowing the car to corner and brake better. While the car is still prone to burnouts after certain moments of cornering, the car grip on the road is equally excellent. Another minor quirk is its tendency to ignite unburnt fuel at the exhaust pipes during throttle liftoff after high revving.
Being a front-engined car, the Buffalo is vulnerable to frontal damage.

- Nitro (2X & 10X only)

The Ballad of Gay Tony
- If the player is hijacking a boat during the Drug Wars he will be required to bring it to the docks in the northernmost part of Algonquin (in Northwood). The Buffalo will be right in front of the player after he delivers the boat and he is at the top of the stairs. It is also found there when you have to steal a helicopter and bring it to the same location.
- It can mostly be found anywhere as it is a common car, but it is most common in Alderney.

Ooooh, you all are going to LOVE reading this story.
Adult children's 'bad mothering' lawsuit dismissed
Raised in a $1.5 million Barrington Hills, Ill., home by their attorney father, two grown children have spent the last two years pursuing a unique lawsuit against their mom for "bad mothering" that alleges damages caused when she failed to buy toys for one and sent another a birthday card he didn't like.
The alleged offenses include failing to take her daughter to a car show, telling her then 7-year-old son to buckle his seat belt or she would contact police, "haggling" over the amount to spend on party dresses and calling her daughter at midnight to ask that she return home from celebrating homecoming.
Last week, at which point the court record stood about a foot tall, an Illinois appeals court dismissed the case, finding that none of the mother's conduct was "extreme or outrageous." To rule in favor of her children, the court found, "could potentially open the floodgates to subject family childrearing to … excessive judicial scrutiny and interference."
In 2009, the children, represented by three attorneys including their father, Steven A. Miner, sued their mother, Kimberly Garrity. Steven II, now 23, and his sister Kathryn, now 20, sought more than $50,000 for "emotional distress."
Miner and Garrity were married for a decade before she filed for divorce in 1995, records show.
Click here for more of the story.
The remaining part of this news article describes the "inappropriate" birthday card as being American Greetings card that had a picture of tomatoes spread across a table that were indistinguishable except for one in the middle with craft-store googly eyes attached. The inside printed sentiment was, "Son I got you this Birthday card because it's just like you … different from all the rest!" Mom had the audacity to write, "Have a great day! Love & Hugs, Mom xoxoxo."
Cruel, sadistic mother! Her nefariousness is compounded even further when she failed to put any money in the card. Folks, we are witnesses to the greatest evil ever inflicted upon poor, innocent children. Googly eyes. Got that? Googly eyes plus no money is a deprivation tantamount to emotional abuse. You all watch out because if I ever put a picture of a googly eyed vegetable in my responses here, you will know that I intended the highest form of ugly commentary on you I could think of.
Spoiled rotten brat, um, ahem (cough, cough), I mean Kathryn Miner, aged 20, claims being told by her mother to come home at midnight from a homecoming party and having a budget restriction for a dress were all deprivations so profound that years later she is irreparably damaged.
As someone in the article's comments noted, the internet can be forever and deep stupidity such as this will live on in infamy for DECADES (cue the horror violins). What employer or future spouse would ever hire or date either Kathryn Miner, age 20, or Steven Miner II, age 23? If either adult child turns out to be a ne-er-do-well, can we say we were surprised?
I am disappointed that the judge in this case, Kathy Flanagan, declined to assess sanctions against the children's lawyer, who just happened to be their father, Steven A. Miner. Remember that name all you Chicago area readers…do you really want to hire this kind of idiot attorney? Flanagan should have slapped Miner with paying Garrity's legal fees for bringing a frivolous, ridiculous, and obviously vengeful lawsuit on behalf of his kids.

Providing Actor Headshots, Model Portfolios & Portraits For Any Purpose.
[The following text has existed on this site for over a decade. The fact is, I haven't yet found a better or more sincere way to express what I say below.]
To be frank and sincere, as much as I love working with people and hope to work with you (if you're looking for a photographer), I don't want to attract clients by shouting about how great my services are or how much I can promise you. Even if it's spoken sincerely, I think it all begins to sound false after a while. And I don't think that's the right foot to start a relationship on.
Instead, I'll just say a few things here that will hopefully help give you an idea of who I am and what I'm about…
First, there is no shortage of good photographers between Los Angeles and San Diego (or anywhere else for that matter). You have lots of choices.
The fact is the market is saturated & extremely competitive and we're all vying for your attention. And although there's a great deal of overlap in what each of us can do for you, we all have different personalities, different goals, and different ways of doing what we do.
So besides great photos, what you should be looking for is a photographer that best suits your own needs, style & personality. And to be really upfront with you, that may not be me.
So definitely shop around. Especially if you can find someone that gets you excited about working together.
Although I'm confident and skilled at what I do — and I strive to provide the best service I can — it's simply a fact that there are other photographers out there who may be able to better accommodate your specific needs (in the same way that I may be better at something I do).
But if you like my work — and you can see yourself in it — then the chances are very good that you'll like what I do for you.
And if you do decide to work with me, you can at least be confident that I'm the type of person that will leverage every skill I have to give you the best experience possible and I want to give you great photos, too.

Garman dealing with injury in Arizona
Sports Editor
PHOENIX — Wapakoneta native Brian Garman is essentially sitting idle in Arizona.
Garman was sent to the Milwaukee Brewers' spring training facility in Phoenix on July 17 to receive further treatment on his injured shoulder, diagnosed as a torn labrum.
Garman is a relief pitcher for the Huntsville Stars, a Double-A team in the Southern League based in Huntsville, Ala. He has been on the disabled list since June 24.
To address the inflammation in his throwing shoulder, he received a cortisone shot Monday, and without having seen any noticeable effect from it, Garman is waiting to see what happens.
"I wasn't really fond of the idea of having a cortisone shot," Garman said. "I would rather see where my shoulder is without masking any of the pain."
"I'm a little bit concerned," he said about the lack of the shot's effect. "They're confused why my body didn't respond to the cortisone."
Medical personnel have told Garman that it may take up to two weeks for him to feel the full effect of the cortisone shot.
Waiting for that inflammation to subside before his injury can be further evaluated, Garman is not doing any proactive rehabilitation.
"So far not too much has happened in Arizona," Garman said. "We've been pretty conservative with the treatment. Everything I'm doing right now has been what is called 'passive treatment.' I'm not doing any therapy."
Garman said his treatment ranges from electronic stimulation to deep tissue massages to ice compression.
"I'm just going to have to take it easy, trust these treatments and be to the point where I can be pain-free and evaluate it," Garman said.
Garman has learned that injured players sent to Arizona are set up to become determined to heal their injury.
"You never want to be here, especially while the season is going on. They do a really good job of making you want to leave here as quick as you can," Garman said. "Arizona itself is not bad, but the baseball side of it is not what you think it would be. You get here and you immediately want to get back to where you can from."
"It's certainly more convenient to be with a full season club."
For the time being, Garman is required to watch games played by the Brewers' rookie class team.
"They're really long and really hot and boring. I think it's one way of the organization saying, 'if you don't like it, get healthy and get out of here,'" Garman said.
The Stars have less than six full weeks remaining in their regular season.
Garman attended the University of Cincinnati for baseball and was drafted in the 17th round of the 2010 MLB draft by the Brewers. He is a 2006 Wapakoneta High School graduate.
The Brewers are Huntsville's MLB parent club.
Garman has spent parts of two seasons with Huntsville.

Disney introducing new themes, 'Limited Time Magic,' at parks
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. —
The Imagineers at Walt Disney World are thinking up new ways to bring about the magic.
Themed celebrations that will last an entire week are coming to the Disney parks.
The new imitative is called Limited Time Magic.
Disney's plan is to amplify holiday fun. Valentine's Day will last a full week at Disney, and so will summer holidays like Independence Day.
A few examples of what guests can expect are:
- True Love Week - will be held throughout Valentine's Week. Disney Princes join their Princesses to meet park guests in special settings, prix fixe menus turn up at select restaurants and Valentine's collectibles will be offered for the week.
- Independence Week - will be held for an entire week throughout July 4th. The Disney Parks salute America with a 4th of July Fireworks Party. Mickey Mouse appears in his patriotic finest and guests will find special USA shirts, ear hats and other limited-edition souvenirs.
- Long Lost Friends Week - Many of the lesser-known Disney characters will move from the shadows to the spotlight meet-and-greets. Guests will be able to grab photos with characters that could include Flik, Clarabelle Cow, Remy, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum. Guests even have the chance to vote online for which characters they want to see.
- Pirate Week - A whole week of talking like a pirate -- what could be better? The adventures of Jack Sparrow come to life like never before during a buccaneer bash at Walt Disney World's pirate-palooza that includes pirate bands, pirate meet-and-greets and more.
- Dapper Dans Sing Boy Bands - The Dapper Dans, the iconic quartet from the Magic Kingdom's Main Street U.S.A., will add a special finale to their show -- claiming the title of the "Original Boy Band" and delivering a medley of hits from One Direction, *NSYNC and the Backstreet Boys.
- Unleash the Villains - During Sept. 2013, Friday the 13th will be celebrated with Disney's Hollywood Studios staying open until the 13th hour, 1 a.m. Disney Villians including Maleficent, Captain Hook, Jafar and others will host a dance party, complete with limited-edition collectibles and other nighttime mischief.
More themes will be announced in Janurary, and will run throughout 2013.

ATLANTIC, Va. (AP) — A company contracted by NASA to deliver supplies to the International Space Station has launched test rocket from the East Coast.
The unmanned Antares rocket blasted off Sunday from Wallops Island on Virginia's Eastern Shore.
The launch by Dulles-based Orbital Sciences Corp. was designed to test whether a practice payload could reach orbit and safely separate from the rocket. If it's successful, Orbital plans a test run to the space station this summer and hopes to make the first of eight deliveries with its Cygnus cargo ship in the fall.
Orbital, near Washinton, D.C., is one of two companies contracted to supply the space station by NASA, which ended its shuttle program in 2011. California-based SpaceX completed its third supply run to the station last month.

What is cystic fibrosis?
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited disease characterized by an abnormality in the body's salt, water- and mucus-making cells. It is chronic, progressive, and is usually fatal. In general, children with CF live into their 30s.
Children with CF have an abnormality in the function of a cell protein called the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR). CFTR controls the flow of water and certain salts in and out of the body's cells. As the movement of salt and water in and out of cells is altered, mucus becomes thickened. The thickened mucus can affect many organs and body systems including:
Respiratory--sinuses and lungs
Digestive--pancreas, liver, gallbladder, intestines
Reproductive--more so in the male, where sperm-carrying ducts become clogged
Sweat glands
There are about 30,000 people in the U.S. who are affected with the disease. It occurs mainly in Caucasians who have a northern European heredity, although it also occurs in African-Americans, Asian Americans, and Native Americans.
Approximately one in 31 people in the U.S. are carriers of the cystic fibrosis gene. These people are not affected by the disease, and usually do not know that they are carriers.
